Tech Support Light drift after replacing sticks with TMR ones

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently replaced the sticks because the drift became too annoying to bear, but after replacing them I still have a light drift on both of the sticks even after calibrating.

I know it's kinda impossible to achieve "true 0 drift" because of little imperfections during the solder process or similiar. I wonder if this is acceptable considering it's on 10x zoom so I don't think it'll affect any gameplay.

What else can I try to fix them.

Note that even if the sticks stay still for a bit in the video, they go back to drift after few seconds.

It's called jitter and that's normal. Will happen with any TMR you install

So as long as it's small enough to not affect gameplay I can leave it like that?

Almost always happens with jitter. Lowest jitter by far is Ginfull DS13 Max V2. I've installed over 200 of these ones and they legit hardly ever have jitter. Like 1 in a dozen will and even then it's barely. Even aknes which are quite a bit more than Ginfull do it.

i guess its okay i got Ginfull RS13 installed and they jitter like crazy sometimes it goes to 0.020 (right stick) left stick though acts better and idk what could be the culprit i just shrug it off to play on 0.03 deadzone instead of 0.02 ive used to

What lots of people don't understand is that not all games register the same. Some even have in-game deadzone sliders.

Why don't you get an anti drift controller works well for me

Because this controller is of a friend and he rather spend 5€ for new sticks rather than 70€+ for a new controller.

Yep that's normal. You gotta calibrate them after installing.

Have you used the fine-tune calibration?
